  "**The twin is the truth.** The Python model is the specification: change it first, then the Verilog, then write the vectors again.",
  "**Lanes never touch.** No lane reads or writes another lane's registers, and the output depends on registers only.",
  "**One strobe, one command.** A command is taken once, on the strobe's rising edge; a RUN while busy is ignored, never queued.",
  "**Said unsimulated.** The Verilog is UNSIMULATED until a real simulator prints PASS on the vectors, and the files say so.",
  "**No chip before the shuttle.** Nothing is called a chip until a shuttle returns one, and no board is listed before one has been driven.",
  "**Arithmetic, not a benchmark.** 40 million multiply-accumulates a second at 10 MHz is arithmetic; no benchmark is ever quoted."
